FAQs

How will the session run? Career WorkOut introduces students to work guests from different work backgrounds so they can find out what it’s really like in different jobs. In a one-hour speed-interview session, students interview each guest about their personal experiences of work. All WorkOut sessions give guests a chance to say what they do for work and why, find out more about young people today, network with guests from other local businesses and promote community cohesion.

You will be briefed on arrival by the Worktree team. You’ll join other work guests to answer questions from small groups of 4/5 students in a carousel, a bit like speed-dating. They’ll ask you open questions for approximately seven minutes about your job/career path for example how you got your job(s) and what it’s like for you. When the time is up the students move to the next guest, and so on until the end of the session. The session is facilitated by a member of the Worktree team. A short debrief will take place at the end of each session.
